About

In Plate's words.

Plate Lunch Hawaiʻi is a Maui family operation — me, my husband, my brother, and my mom in the kitchen. We started the truck in 2014 in a Kahului parking lot and now we cater 1st birthdays, grad parties, and corporate retreats across Maui.

We do real plate-lunch: loco moco, garlic shrimp, kalbi, kālua, lomi, mac salad. We don't do fusion. We don't do mainland barbecue. The mac salad recipe is my mom's and we will not change it.

Event service ranges from $400 (50 servings) to $900 (full lūʻau, 200+ guests). We bring the truck, two crew, propane, paper goods. You bring guests.

1st birthday (110 guests)
Mar 2026

Booked Plate Lunch Hawaiʻi for my son's 1st birthday in Kahului. Family party 100 package — kalbi, garlic shrimp, kālua, mac salad. Truck pulled up at 11, we ate by noon, kālua was gone by 2pm. Honestly the mac salad was the best part.

Graduation party (180 guests)
Feb 2026

Full lūʻau service for our daughter's grad party. The crew handled 180 guests like it was a normal day. Real plate-lunch food, no pretense. Will book again for our other kid's grad in two years.
